Description

Algae Oil DHA Microcapsule Powder 10%

Product name:DHA powder

Color:White or light yellow

Ingredient:lactose,glucose syrup,sodium caseinate

DHA algae oil powder is a milky white or light yellow powdery granule with uniform and good fluidity that is processed by microcapsule secondary embedding technology in a GMP production environment. Thereby, DHA algae oil is changed from oil-containing liquid to powdery solid, and at the same time, DHA is not easily oxidized. It is more widely used in various food fields and can be added to dairy products, solid beverages and other nutritious foods and health products as nutritional fortification. Agent.

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of fish oil and algae oil

1) Freshwater fish and ordinary shallow-sea fish do not contain DHA. Only deep-sea fish contain DHA. The DHA in deep-sea fish is because deep-sea fish feed on deep-sea microalgae. The DHA contained in deep-sea microalgae is enriched in the fat of fish.

2) The process of extracting DHA from deep-sea fish inevitably brings various heavy metals and organics in the ocean into fish oil. More importantly, the content of DHA in fish oil is generally 12%, but the content of EPA is as high as 18%.

3) Algae oil is directly extracted from deep-sea microalgae. It is a natural plant source and avoids various harmful substances in the ocean. The purity of DHA is as high as 35% or more, the content of EPA is very low, and the high-grade algae oil is completely Does not contain EPA.

4) Fish oil has a high content of EPA.

5) The best source of DHA is deep-sea microalgae. High purity, no pollution.

Algae oil is a kind of pure plant DHA, commonly known as brain gold. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is very important to the human body and belongs to an important member of the Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid family.

Application

The essential n-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid (C18:3) serves as an energy carrier and precursor for the synthesis of EPA (C20:5) and DHA (C22:6) into which it is converted by chain elongation and introduction of extra double bonds. EPA is an important component of the phospholipids of cell membranes and lipoproteins. DHA is a structural component in the cell membranes, particularly the nervous tissue of the brain, and plays an important role both for the synapses and the cells of the retina.

The conversion of α-linolenic acid to its long-chain derivatives EPA and DHA may not be sufficient to maintain optimal body functions. The limited conversion is mainly due to a dramatic change in eating habits during the past 150 years, resulting in increased n-6 PUFA intake and concomitant decrease in n-3 LCPUFA consumption in most industrialized countries. Therefore, the n-6 to n-3 ratio in our diet has changed from 2:1 to about 10 - 20:1. This change accounts for the inadequate biosynthesis of the biologically active n-3 PUFA, EPA, and DHA, as n-6 and n-3 PUFA compete for the same desaturase and elongase enzyme systems.

Function

DHA is widely used as a food supplement,it was first used primarily in infant formulas,to promote fetal brain development.
